The Baseball series presents a unique opportunity for teachers to bring the rich traditions of baseball into the classroom and spark new enthusiasm for subjects across curriculum. By studying the history of baseball, students gain an understanding for the struggles and triumphs of our country throughout the past 150 years of American history.

The activities on this site were designed to allow teachers to draw on the many lessons of the game in a variety of disciplines including social studies, mathematics, history and language arts and make the fun and excitement of baseball part of a dynamic learning experience.

These curriculum materials weave together video and online resources with an instructional strategy that builds on the visual and collaborative strengths of these media. The lesson plans may be used in conjunction with the series or adapted for use as a stand-alone resource.

Each lesson contains an activity overview, procedure outline, assessment and extension suggestions, a list of correlating national standards and extensive resource suggestions. All material listed in this section was developed by trained and practicing educators.
